iOSX compatibility?

[Electrokid]

Been searching around a bit, and haven't been able to find a definitive answer.

I'm looking to buy an SCT tuner but only have Mac computers in my house.

Is there any ways to run the SCT tuner programs such as downloading or uploading tunes with a Mac? Or is it only for Windows based computers?

What is the alternative if there is no Mac compatibility besides running something like boot camp?
If I get tune emailed is it possible to just hook up the SCT to a relative's computer and load it that way?

Thanks

Ended up just emailing SCT and got my answers from them.

Install windows on your mac. What did they say?

They just said that at this time they do not have any OSX based software for their products.

Basically what I'm just going to do is install the software on a relative's PC and just load my tunes from there. My father also run's only Mac, but is getting a work PC soon so I will probably just do it on that. Kind of a pain in the butt, but the alternative is to go and buy a cheap netbook.

You can find a netbook for half the cost of the SCT handheld. I have 3 laptops. Work provided, personal accounting and whatever side work and then the car. The netbook I got I paid 200 for. Well worth it.

I would just do bootcamp. Go get a cheap copy of windows 7 and load it up that's what I do anyways. Just partition 30GB and you'll be more than set.

Now that I think about it I'm pretty sure I have a copy of XP Pro lying in a closet somewhere.

Apple sucks, lol.

You can always get parallel desktop but boot camp would be ideal. Even if the cd key wont work. You can still use windows without a cd key!

You can also run Virtual Box.

I believe its free. Install it and XP and you should be good.

Yea, just run a VM. Much easier than dedicating an entire partition to another OS.

Awesome. Thanks for the alternatives.
